about

Paying tribute to Cort McMurray, an old friend we lost while the record was being recorded. Also, a call to street action–the power structure always worries about new rockers coming at them.

lyrics

New rockers roll New East
New rockers roll New West
New rockers roll New North
New rockers roll New South

New rockers in the big tent
New rockers in the one big union
New rockers bring the man to his knees
New rockers small axe big trees

You showed the way the new rockers wail
you taught the way the wheat shockers bail
proved that money is just a heart that fails
walked with me down mercy trails

New rockers roll the Ninth Ward
New rockers roll North Tonawanda
New rockers roll the Bayou Teche
New rockers roll they put us to the test!

New rockers in the big tent
New rockers in the one big union
New rockers bring the man to his knees
New rockers small axe big trees

Hey, McMurray, the old Aud’s streets
all the ghosts dancing blackout beats
the road was long, you lived strong
from Buffalo down to Houston town

You gave my heart a reason to fight
songs song true every night
Everything you told me ‘bout how the world turns
who sets the fires and who gets burned

Love and resistance is the same damn thing
kisses in the night freedom fighters who sing
remember when we were new rockers on boil
Baby you and me the ignition coil
Baby you and me the ignition coil
Baby you and me the ignition coil
Baby you and me
